Is bookdown's math render down?

I have working .Rmd files that contain latex syntax (rendering correctly). However, when I render using the bookdown package, I have experienced that the latex output is incorrect. I went to check in the source (aka https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/markdown-syntax.html#math-expressions) and I see that the render is not correct there either!

I see similar behavior for bookdown's preview_chapter() rendering but not for Rmarkdown knit of a toy example. I see similar behavior changing web browser.

Is this something on my end? Are there updates I need to do?

Solution

  • It is not an issue on your end, but a server problem (the default MathJax CDN server in bookdown was down). I just changed the server, and the problem should be gone if you

    devtools::install_github('rstudio/bookdown')
